Hey guys recently I've found a pretty easy way to make money on youtube and I thought I'd share it with you so here goes.
Step 1) Make youtube account about ??? whatever it doesn't matter
Step 2) Create google adsense account (to get paid)
Step 3) Find a website that does youtube view sharing (they are not hard to find but if you want to know which one I use feel free to PM me...I don't want to post it here as it may violate the forum rules idk)
Step 4) After getting a decent amount of views on your videos using the view share site applyfor for your videos to be monetized on youtube (this only took me about 24-36hrs of running to software or about 500 views to get done)
Step 5) After getting approved for Advertising turn it on and select TrueView in stream ads (these are the annoying ads that run before a video)
Step 6) Continue earning credits with the view share program and keep sending those views to your now monetized videos. The views will be watching your ads and thus generating revenue for you. 
Step 7) Continue uploading content (the more videos you have in the view share program the moremoney you make of course)
Step 8) ????
Step 9) profit
After a while you're videos will start generating "real" visitors because they will be bumped up on the youtube search engine and running the view share program will be less necessary.
This method has been working for me for the past couple weeks and it's really easy to do. If you have any questions feel free to ask and if you need any help or want to know exactly what i'm using you can PM me.
